What a fucking waste.

Whitney Houston 1963-2012.





That face. That VOICE. In the 1980s, it was a voice that reached all the way to heaven and could make an atheist find God. And to throw it all away on drugs and end up dead in a hotel room. I guess I'm old enough and have lived enough years that far too many people don't get that I appreciate what a gift those years are.

The drugs and alcohol may have been a misguided attempt to numb some inner pain. What pain deep inside couldn't she anesthetize? What inner demons was she wrestling with?

I agree. Such a tragic waste.
